[plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_thumbpop - Thumbnail Image Gallery w/ popups

While searching for a simple image gallery plugin I ended up wanting to use certain features of both the cgd_dynagallery plugin and the dca_pop plugin. After hacking away for a while I decided to start anew and the DynaGallery became the basis for this plugin.

The plugin can be used to create a standard thumbnail gallery with popup full size images, reload a full size image on the same page or create a nice javascript driven gallery.

Here are the major functions of the plugin:

Generates a thumbnail gallery using a table or floated divs

Allows all categories, multiple categories or use of the global category

Thumbnails are hyperlinked

and shown in a popup of the full size image only

and shown in a popup page with the full size image and caption

and the full size image is shown on the same page after a reload

and the full size image is shown on the same page using javascript with no reload

Can be used to automatically show a gallery based on the current article ID

Thanks Rob – this looks great. I have already installed it and will have a working version soon.

One feature that would be cool (for those of us with >lots< of images) would be the ability to set a limit to the number of images shown per page. You would then have to have back,next navigation to show additional images on subsequent pages (does that sentence make sense).

The plugin is now at version 0.2 and supports paging with the use of the <code><txp:newer></code> and <code><txp:older></code> tags. The plugin will even automatically output the links for you if you want.

If this is the exact cut and paste from your code, the problem is the “smart quotes” on the last 3 attributes. I just tried it without them and got 1 column with 2 rows.
<code>
<txp:rss_thumbpop category=“photos” mode=“float” label=“My Pictures” backlabel=”< back” nextlabel=“next >” cols=“1” limit=“2” nopop=“0” />
</code>

btw, nopop=“0” is the default so you don’t have to specify that if you want popups.
